Propaganda in Advertising


In this Bud Light commercial there is 2 propaganda techniques shown. The first one is used by using a famous well known celebrity in the commercial, Will Ferrell. It makes it were more people can be interested and want to watch it more. Secondly they use the movie the actor is in to sale and market their beer, which is Semi-Pro. And then even at the end of the commercial the voice over in the back doesn't even mention the beer, he just says the movie's release date. This is a great commercial to showcase propaganda techniques.

Internet

I love the internet, period. It is probably the best invention ever to me. What i most use it for is social networking and entertainment!
Of course when myspace came out while i was in middle school i was obsessed with it, and then came facebook which i love. I think it is a great way to communicate with friends and family. Everyone can see what your up to or how your feeling and you get to share your favorite videos and pictures. The best part is picking out the cutest picture of me to put as my default :)
Other than that for my entertainment i love sports they are my life, so what i use is ESPN, Yahoo Sports, Dallas Cowboys, San Jose sharks and San Francisco Giants homepages.
As for shopping, i love to go on the cool websites and look at clothing but i do most of my buying in the stoeres because i am way to picky and don;t know if those clothes online are a perfect fit.
And news i just use Yahoo.com because all the news comes in here when the East Coast gets it, so i know exactly when everyone else knows.


And for people being obessed with the internet, my girlfriend!
It really is ridiculous, Facebook always stays on, online shopping constantly, and always on Tumblr  and checking other websites. I really don't get it, i love the internet but i don't see the use of being on Facebook 24/7, it drives me crazy!
